Songs

Album: My Paper Heart
Artist: Francesca Battistelli

This is the moment
It’s on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all


It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life

Are you who you always said you would be?
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget


To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way.



I love this song especially the line
"The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for"
It reminds me that my life is not purposeless.
The way that we live does say who is in control of our lives.

I guess thats why I do what I do.

This is not just about me.

Finally Details!!!

I had my last class of the Semester today and it feels weird to think all I have left is exams and internship details!! (I have been waiting for this for a while!!)

Today I got to spend some time with my family and when I arrived at their house, my nephew was waiting for me. The words I love you Aunty Rach were music to my ears and as I held onto him I remembered how good God has been to me.



I handed out my fund raising letters for Edmonton and now its up to God to bring in the funds. Which God has been blowing me away with already. 10% of the budget has come in and now its just waiting for the rest. It has been a whirlwind of activity for the past few weeks with school and life and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I had an awesome opportunity to hear about AIA (Athletes in Action) and was really encouraged. This guy from church is involved in it and was explaining to me how it works. Its really encouraging to hear of others who are stepping up to the plate and reaching my generation by using their God given talents. It makes me so excited to get going to Quebec.

Today at school was our last internship class before we all go around the world. It is an exciting moment to be so close and to see the diversity as we will all be going different places and doing different things. It will be hard to go alone but this is the next big part of my education and starts a new page in my life.

We were left with these two main points at the end of our class
1. In the end, point them to Jesus
2. If Jesus is truly the center of your life, than there will never be such a thing as an ordinary day

Talk about something to think on for a while.

As well, for the class I enlisted an incredible first year (Reba) to make us a globe cake with dots on it where we are all going around the world. It was an excellent end to a great afternoon with my class mates!



And Lastly

My flights are booked

I leave Tuesday Jan 5, 2010 at 1205 from the Calgary Airport and I get back to Calgary on Saturday April 17 at 1103. It is an incredible feeling to have this set in stone. It's an awesome feeling to be able to begin a count down, and its scary that its less than a month!
